DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: July 25, 2011, 04:32:31 pm »
I just had a siege, in which I lost about a fourth of my military.  It was great.  When I got the alert, I stationed three squads in strategic spots around the main entrance to the fort.  I placed the fourth squad inside the construction site of the Iron Castle, because it had one staircase that connected it to the rest of the fort.  I thought there was only one way into the castle.  Turns out, there was a slope right next to it, and the goblin swordsmen managed to sneak in and ambush the Rocks of Virtue.  Half of the dwarf squad was killed, and their captain, Cog Bellrenowned the Clarity of Affliction, lost an arm.  The worst part is, he didn't get any kills in during this siege.   :-[
The Murk of Slings also suffered heavy casualties and lost their captain, Meng Painttactic the Armored Mirror-Pleats of Conflict.  The Severity of Work and the Fists of Bronze suffered no casualties, and the militia commander got 9 or 10 new kills.   8)

Is it a bad idea to dig out a space right under a river, in the exact same shape as the river, and then make the river go through it?  FPS-wise, I mean.

Hmm... maybe artifacts related to the Misery sphere would have to be locked away deep underground to keep your dwarves from being upset by them.   8)  Now I'm interested.

I'm not sure when that will be, but I think it's gonna be quite a while.  Unless you count vampires, werewolfs, etc.  Or Bronze Colossuses.

I've decided I'm going to learn how to use pumps.  It's either that, or make my metalworkers continue traveling ~60 Z-Levels to get to the magma forges.  That would kinda defeat the purpose of the castle I'm building for them on the surface.  Besides, this is shaping up to be the best fortress I've ever had, so I might as well risk destroying it all with make it the first one where I make proper use of magma.

That's probably why they abandoned.

Seriously though, that is really cool.

I think I'm gonna withdraw from this. 
So, Grath, it will be one step further from death, if that encourages you any.

I accidentally savescummed.  That is, an ugly siege wiped out most of my military, and then my game crashed before I could save.  I'm a little bummed, since I was looking forward to engraving these war-stories, but at least I have my military back.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Introducing new players.
« on: July 23, 2011, 09:55:33 pm »
I've tried to introduce a couple friends to it.  One of them really enjoyed playing Adventure Mode with me, and went home and downloaded the game, but never figured out how to play it himself.  Another one started a fort with my guidance one evening, and presumably hasn't touched it since.  I still have hope for that one, though.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Your Best Building
« on: July 23, 2011, 08:34:01 pm »
I have nothing to boast about right now, but I've had a few "almost"s.

There was the unfinished project of Clashworks, which was meant to be a 4x4 iron tunnel that went all over the map.  You can see some of what I got done here:  http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-9693-clashworks

In my current fort, Goddagger, I'm working on something that will fill me with pride if I ever finish it.  It's a big iron castle, with marble floors.  Right now, I'm still working on the base of it, where there are barracks and siege weapons, and siege operators' quarters.
It will also continue downward, but I haven't decided whether I will continue to build with iron downward, or just use engraved stone walls.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: species interbreeding ?
« on: July 23, 2011, 12:56:33 pm »
I do rather wish there was some crossbreeding in the game.  I'd like to see Dwarf-Humans, Goblin-Humans, and even *shudder* Dwarf-elves.

you'd probably want to make the troll the female...

Nope.

You posted Anubis twice.

Edit:  Also, I'd be interested in knowing a little more about the deities, if it's not too much trouble.

In the spirit of excess and wastefulness, I'm building an iron castle with marble floors.  Hopefully this won't interfere with my metal industry too much.   ::)

Also, Goddagger got it's first siege yesterday.  The only casualty was a Tigerman, who was the first to run out and defend the fortress.  He received a tomb in the Dwarven catacombs.

I would also like to see a profile, before mine starves to death.   :P
